Best graphics and video settings in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 for PS5

The PS5 comes with a performance mode for Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, which runs the game at dynamic 4K 60 FPS, and ray tracing, which uses the said effects but runs the game at dynamic 4K 30 FPS. We recommend sticking to the former because the visual difference with ray tracing turned on isn't as noticeable, and 30 FPS can feel a bit janky in a first-person shooter title.

  • Depth of field: On
  • Lens flare: On
  • Motion blur: On

Video

  • Graphics mode: Performance

Cyberpunk 2077 is a fantastic entry to the PS5 games lineup. With the 2.0 update, the game and the Phantom Liberty expansion run very well on the console with the above settings applied.
